Blithbury is a small hamlet in the district of Lichfield in Staffordshire, England. Tucked into a gently rolling agricultural landscape, it lies close to the course of the River Blithe and within easy reach of Blithfield Reservoir and the Trent valley, giving it a peaceful, rural character popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
The settlement retains strong farming roots, with a scattering of historic farmhouses and converted cottages and a quiet, community-focused social life; many residents commute to nearby Lichfield or other towns for work and services. Its name and setting reflect a long local history beside the river, and today Blithbury serves as a low-key base for exploring the surrounding Staffordshire countryside rather than as a busy destination itself.
